The Valparaiso University volleyball team won its third straight match to begin the season for the first time since 1990 on Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders defeated Nevada 30-21, 30-28, 30-22 in the Titan Classic held in Fullerton, Calif.

The Crusaders hit .287 for the match while holding the Wolfpack to just .094 hitting and outblocked Nevada 13-5 in the triumph.

Valpo, which handed Nevada (2-1) its first loss of the season, will look to move to 4-0 for the first time in school history on Saturday evening when the Brown and Gold conclude tournament play with a match against Fordham, beginning at 7:30 p.m. CDT.
